-## Getting the data
-
-I've also included a little `get_data.py` utility to automatically download the data of the day, at the right time (you'll get a countdown if you're early). I was too lazy to code it in Elixir, but perhaps I'll port it one day. To use it, just type the following command in a terminal, replacing `{day}` with the day you want:
-
-```
-cd /path/to/this/repository
-python get_data.py 2024 {day}
-```
-
-The script requires the `requests` and `pytz` libraries, which you can install like this:
-
-```
-python -m pip install --user requests pytz
-```
-
-The first time you run `get_data.py`, you will be asked to login to AoC in your browser, [find your session cookie](https://github.com/wimglenn/advent-of-code-wim/issues/1), and save it into a `.session` file in the current directory.

 Have fun!
